1. Pay Attention to Invites
The personalized invite is a great idea. One can get a child’s picture printed on the invites. An invitation should be carefully worded in a childish tone. Later, when your child grows, this card can be a sweet remembrance for him or her. If you are planning to keep a theme for the party, the same should be reflected in the invite.
2. Tasty Food
Though you will have to plan catering according to the guests being invited to the party, you must also pay attention to your first year old’s taste and preferences. There may be many other kids close to your child’s age and they will love to nibble on potato fritters or cottage cheese cubes. There can be extra thin vegetable sandwiches too. Avoid food that may get stuck in little one’s throat.
3. The Theme of the Party
Since your child is just turning one, you can plan a theme accordingly. If you have a boy, you can plan a Ben 10, Superman or Spiderman theme. If you have a girl, you can go for a Princess or Barbie theme party.
4. List of Guests
When preparing a list of guests to be invited to the party, avoid inviting a lot of people as it may be intimidating for your child. If he or she gets cranky, the whole party will get spoiled. Only close relatives must be invited with whom your child is comfortable. Neighbourhood kids can also be invited with whom your child is familiar.
5. Timing of the Party
When planning a party for a one-year-old, it is recommended to think about the appropriate timing of the party. If party time coincides with the nap time of the child, it can become a tough situation. Your child may want to sleep and get irritated if not able to…
6. Party Venue
It is best to organize the first birthday party at your home. Your child is familiar with the place where he or she lives and will not require any adjustment to the new place. It will be convenient if your child still breastfeeds.
Alternatively, if you have a guest list that wouldn’t fit in your home, it would be a good idea to choose a nice club or banquet hall close to your place. Check to ensure they have an adjacent private room that can be used to feed a baby or change her diapers.
7. Hire Entertainers
Depending upon the guests you are inviting, take your pick from the following entertainers that you can hire for the D-day.
– Magician
– Clowns
– Tattoo Artist
– Fortune Teller
– DJ (not very loud for babies)
– Ghazal/Qawwali Singers
– You might like to display photos of your baby with close family members and friends on a screen…
8. Party Games
Winter Games
If your child is a winter baby, some indoor games can be organized. You can give crayons and drawing sheets to little ones invited to the party. They can stay involved in drawing and colouring for some time and enjoy a good time.
Summer Games
If your child’s birthday falls during summers, there are a lot of options for keeping kids occupied. Kids can play ball or enjoy slides. Softballs or toys can be placed in a big area where kids can enjoy a good time throwing them at each other.
9. Treat Bags
Every child loves to get return gifts. You can prepare treat bags for your Lil’ guests but at the same time, you need to ensure that there is nothing kid-unfriendly (pointed things or things that can get stuck in their throats) in them.
10. Wrap Gifts in Bright Coloured Paper
Kids easily get attracted to bright colours. Thus, when packing return gifts, brightly coloured wrapping papers must be used to wrap thoughtful gifts perfect for little guests.
You can use the above-mentioned ideas for making the first birthday party of your child a memorable one.
